NSA POST FELLOWSHIP EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAM

General Post Fellowship Education and Training

Post graduate fellowship training positions are available through institutions in Australia, New Zealand. Fellowship positions are usually for 12 to 24 months to provide post-graduate experience in subspecialty areas relating to neurosurgery. Experience gained within these positions is not considered as part of the RACS Surgical Education and Training Program in Neurosurgery and does not qualify the individual for the Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

Consultants and trainees wishing to spend one or two years working a fellowship position which is not part of the Surgical Education and Training Program in Neurosurgery are not required to apply for Surgical Education and Training Program. In these instances the matter should be negotiated directly between the applicant and the hospital. The Board of Neurosurgery is unable to assist in this process.

NSA Post Fellowship Education and Training - Commencing in 2010

Expressions of interest for accreditation of PFET positions or from fellows wishing to register in the PFET Program are not currently being sought. Further information will be available on this website in late 2009.

The NSA Post Fellowship Education and Training (PFET) Program is currently in the final development stages with discussions also underway with the RACS and other specialist societies regarding the possibility of joint programs. The NSA PFET Program is designed to provide the opportunity for suitably qualified independent specialist neurosurgeons to undertake extensive education and training to achieve advanced proficiency, knowledge and skills in a specific sub-specialty area of neurosurgical practice.

The NSA PFET Program must be a minimum of twelve (12) months full time or part time equivalent and must include clinical, research, educational and administrative experience in a sub-specialty focus relevant to neurosurgery.  Following successful completion, the fellow will be awarded a Certificate of Post Fellowship Education and Training. The Certificate will acknowledge the sub-specialty, duration of satisfactory training and the institution where the NSA PFET Program was undertaken.

Institutions in Australia, New Zealand and overseas with positions which currently deliver relevant training will be invited to apply for accreditation of their positions during mid to late 2009.  All accredited NSA PFET Program positions will be advertised on this website when the PFET Program opens.  Fellows wishing to register in the NSA PFET Program will need to satisfy minimum eligibility criteria and secure an accredited position.  Applications for employment in accredited positions must be made directly to the institutions in which the positions are located. This process will not commence until 2010.
